Chapter 661 Strength and Kindness
Xu Liang smiled and said, "The four adopted sons of the king, Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Wenqi, who don't know who knows?"
"I wonder what happened to this hero coming?" Zhang Dingguo asked again.
"After someone's entrustment, come to visit the king." Xu Liang replied.
Zhang Dingguo's boat leaned on, and Xu Liang said to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone will go back to Huangzhou first. When Xu finishes his business, he will naturally go back to find you."
"I still don't know the name of a hero?" Zhang Dingguo asked.
Xu Liang bowed and said, "I am Xu Liang, I have seen the young general."
After getting on Zhang Dingguo's ship, the two of them hit it off and chatted for a few words. Xu Liang suddenly laughed: "General Zhang, actually Xu still knows that the young general was originally surnamed Li?"
Li Dingguo was the national hero of the late Ming Dynasty that Li Laoer admired the most in his previous life. After the Qing army entered the pass, Li Dingguo suffered heavy damage to the Qing army again and again, with two famous kings, and recovered several lost lands. The situation was very good for a while. Unfortunately, the Southern Ming Dynasty internal strife, Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which led to his failure. In the unfavorable situation, Li Dingguo insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. In the end, the bloody battle in Mopanshan was severely damaged, and eventually lost the ability to counterattack. Until his death, he also instructed his son and subordinates: he would rather die in the wilderness than surrender.
"That's right, I didn't expect that Xu Zhuangshi would know our army well." Zhang Dingguo sighed.
"The young general has been awarded too much. It's not that he understands the humble position, but that the lord praises you to you." Xu Liang bowed his hand and replied.
"Shi Zhuangshi, your lord? Who is it?"
"I wonder if the young general has ever heard of Wu Weibo?"
"I know!" Zhang Dingguo almost shouted, "Shi Zhuangshi Xu, are you under Wu Weibo's command?"
“That’s right.”
"Wuweibo is our friend. I also heard that Wuweibo beat Zuo Liangyu upset, which is so satisfying!" Zhang Dingguo said with praise, "The left thief has an army of 300,000, but was defeated by Wuweibo with just 300,000 people. It's amazing! It's amazing!"
"The left thief is very abominable. Our lord is kind and kind and loves the people. Naturally, he dislikes the left thief. He took advantage of the left thief's attack on Anqing and gave him a lesson!"
"Good fight!" Zhang Dingguo said with a smile, "I just don't know what if Xu Zhuangshi came here this time?"
Xu Liang pointed to the long line of people who were surrounded by the army on the shore and said, "Little General, why are the people? I hope the king can commit less sins of killing and do not harm the lives of the people as much as possible."
Zhang Dingguo retorted: "The adoptive father never killed innocent people. When he was young, his family was so poor that he couldn't bear to lose his life. He was wandering on the streets to beg for a living. If it weren't for the adoptive father, Dingguo would have starved to death long ago! Yes, the adoptive father would kill people every time he broke into a city, but the people killed were all gentry who were rich and unkind! What's wrong with this?"
Xu Liang said: "Little General, I also know that the great king killed gentry and vassal kings, which is indeed a good thing for the people of the world. But what are the maids and palace maids in the families of gentry and vassal kings? What are the children? Why are they killed indiscriminately?"
"Wasn't the court punishing the nine clans?"
"The imperial court killed nine clans and only killed men and women, not young children."
While talking, a big ship leaned on it, and a young general stood on the bow of the ship. The young general asked, "Second brother, who is here?"
"Brother, the one who came is the subordinate of an old friend." Zhang Dingguo replied.
"Is this young general Zhang Kewang?" Xu Liang bowed to the big ship and asked.
"That's right, who is this hero?" Zhang Kewang asked.
Xu Liang smiled and said, "The nameless young man, what's the point."
Zhang Ding Guodao: "This is the hero Xu Liang under our old friend. I came to visit my adoptive father."
"Let's go, please come with us." Zhang Kewang said.
Someone reported to Zhang Xianzhong on the large ship of Zhang Xianzhong: "King, there is an old friend's subordinate who said he would come to see you."
"Old friend? Bring him here."
"I hope the young general and the young general of Dingguo have already gone."
Not long after, Zhang Kewang's boat leaned on, and Xu Liang was taken to Zhang Xianzhong by Zhang Kewang.
After asking what happened clearly, Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "So you are from Wuwei Bo. Wuwei Bo heard people say that I killed innocent people indiscriminately. I, Zhang, like to kill people, but the people killed by Zhang deserve it! Don't listen to the government's words that Zhang killed innocent people! That's not the case. Zhang captured Wuchang this time, only killed gentry and mercenary merchants, and never harmed the people! As for the King of Chu, Humph, Zhang will definitely sink him to the bottom of the river to feed fish this time! As for the female relatives of the royal palace and Wuchang gentry, if you Li Lao Er like it, Zhang will leave them for you."
"I hope that when the king says that he can do it, our lord has also been ordered by the court and will arrive in Wuchang soon." Xu Liang said.
"You Li Lao Er still want to call me?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.
"After the imperial edict of the court, I had no choice but to do it! Even if we don't come to Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu's army will arrive in Wuchang soon."
"Zuo Liangyu? Is that thief general? Hahaha! His army of 300,000, claims to be 500,000, was defeated by 30,000 of you. This person has been defeated in several battles, but he still can't do it? If he comes, Zhang will definitely let him escape in panic!" Zhang Xianzhong laughed.
Xu Liang bowed and said, "King Zhang, Xu has brought the words of the lord. I hope you will not break your promise. As long as you keep your promise, we will not be enemies with you. If you break your promise, then we will have to meet on the battlefield."
After saying that, Xu Liang turned around and left.
Zhang Xianzhong's general drew his sword to stop Xu Liang, but he heard Zhang Xianzhong yell: "Let him go!"
When Xu Liang left Zhang Xianzhong's large central army ship, Zhang Kewang stepped forward and said, "Encyclopedia, did you let this guy go?"
"After all, he is a member of Wuweibo. Wuweibo has kindness to us. How can Zhang repay his kindness with grudges?" Zhang Xianzhong is actually a person who is grateful. Zhang Xianzhong once violated military law and was killed on the crime. The chief general Chen Hongfan pleaded with him and let Zhang Xianzhong go. Later, Zhang Xianzhong kept offering to Chen Hongfan's portrait.
When Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in Hequ, Li Guodong was kind to Zhang Xianzhong and the others, so Zhang Xianzhong was embarrassed by Xu Liang and asked someone to let him go.
When Xu Liang returned to Huangzhou, he took a boat down the river and went to find Li Guodong's fleet.
When the Clippers arrived at the Jiujiang River, Xu Liang met Li Guodong's fleet. He was taken to Li Guodong's ship. It was a three-masted warship, a three-masted warship built by Zheng Zhilong and helped Li Guodong. It is currently the largest warship in the Yangtze River.
The personal soldiers took Xu Liang to the cabin at the rear of the warship. This was the most luxurious cabin on the entire ship. The windows of the bedroom behind the cabin were inlaid with transparent glass, the hall was covered with carpets, and there was a screen between the hall and the bedroom. In front of the screen was a tiger-skin chair and a table, and Li Guodong sat on the chair.
"Xiao Xu, have you seen Zhang Xianzhong?" Li Guodong asked.
Xu Liang replied: "When I saw you, I told him your lord. But looking at Zhang Xianzhong's appearance, I didn't seem to take your intentions to heart."
"How did Zhang Xianzhong answer?"
Xu Liang told Li Guodong what Zhang Xianzhong said. Li Guodong thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Xu, although Zhang Xianzhong did not agree directly, I believe that he is still afraid of me. On the one hand, we have helped them; on the other hand, Ben Bo defeated Zuo Liangyu's 300,000 army. This incident shocked Zhang Xianzhong very much. In combination with both, I believe he will not break his promise."
